Some of you might be unaware of just how big a mistake Trump made on Monday during a press conference in Scotland. The mistake was picked up by Intelligent journalists, and on the way back from the U.K. on Air Force One, they mercilessly dissected Trump to further expose the trap he set for himself. Virginia Giuffre’s family even picked up on what is rather obvious to anyone paying attention and released a damning statement in response. I’ve taken all three events and arranged them sequentially so you can easily follow the thread. This post is the first part of three posts that will bring season 3 to a close.
It starts in Scotland after the press asked him to explain the reasoning behind the fall-out with Epstein. Everybody was expecting the real estate deal gone south angle, which is relevant, but not quite as revealing as what Trump decided to share.
‘I never had the privilege of going to his island, and I did turn it down. But a lot of people in Palm Beach were invited to his island. In one of my very good moments, I turned it down. Bill Clinton went there, supposedly, 28 times … And many other people that are very big people. Nobody ever talks about them.’
‘He did something that was inappropriate,’ Trump told Daily Mail during a Q&A with reporters on Monday.
‘He STOLE people that work for me. I said, Don’t ever do that again. He did it AGAIN, and I threw him out of the place persona non grata, I threw him out, and that was it. I’m glad I did, if you want to know the truth.’
Yes please, we’d love to know the truth. Trump took the bait in the trap he set. The following conversation happened on Air Force One on the way back to the States.
“Mr. President, Epstein has a certain reputation obviously but just curious, were some of the workers that were taken from you, were some of them young women?” a reporter asked Trump on Air Force One.
“Were some of them…” said Trump.
“Were some of them young women?” the reporter repeated.
“Uh, well, I don’t want to say but uh… Everyone knows the people that were taken and uhhh… It was… The concept of taking people that worked for me is bad,” said Trump. “But, uh, that story’s been pretty well out there and the answer’s yes, they were.”
“What did they do?” asked the reporter.
“In the spa,” said Trump. “Yeah, people that work in the spa, one of the best spas in the world at Mar-a-Lago and people were taken out of the spa. Hired! By him! In other words, gone.”
“And, uh, other people would come and complain this guy is taking people from the spa,” Trump went on. “I didn’t know that and when I heard about it I told him, I said ‘Listen, we don’t want you taking our people.’ Whether it was spa or not spa. I don’t want him taking people. And he was fine and then not too long after that, he did it again and I said ‘Out of here.'”
“Mr. President, did one of those stolen, you know persons, did that include Virginia Giuffre?” asked another reporter.
“Uh… I don’t know. I think she worked at the spa. I think so. I think that was one of the people, yeah,” said Trump. “He stole her and by the way, she had no complaints about us as you know. None whatsoever.”
“He hired help and I said ‘Don’t ever do that again,'” claimed Trump. “He stole people that worked for me. I said ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ He did it again and I threw him out of the place. Persona non grata. I threw him out and that was it. I’m glad I did, if you want to know the truth.”
VIRGINIA GIUFFRE FAMILY STATEMENT: – Article – The family of one of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s victims has asked US President Donald Trump not to consider pardoning the late financier’s accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. In a statement, family members Sky and Amanda Roberts and Danny and Lanette Wilson said they were still “reeling” from Giuffre’s suicide in April.
“Ghislaine Maxwell is a monster who deserves to rot in prison for the rest of her life,” said the family of the late Virginia Giuffre. Their statement also questioned Trump’s recent remark that Epstein “stole people that worked for me”, including Giuffre, who was once an employee at the president’s Florida golf club, Mar-a-Lago.
“It was shocking to hear President Trump invoke our sister and say that he was aware that Virginia had been ‘stolen’ from Mar-a-Lago. It makes us ask if he was aware of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal actions, especially given his statement two years later that his good friend Jeffrey ‘likes women on the younger side . . . no doubt about it.’ We and the public are asking for answers; survivors deserve this.”
Giuffre had said in a 2016 court deposition that she began working at Mar-a-Lago in the summer of 2000, when she was 16. In their statement, her family members said they “would like to clarify” that their sister was “preyed upon” by Maxwell during her time working for Trump. They said this was in 2000, four years before Trump and Epstein reportedly fell out.
Giuffre’s family also condemned federal prosecutors for recently holding meetings with Maxwell at the Florida jail where she is serving a 20-year sentence. They said Maxwell had already been convicted for lying under oath and “will continue to do so for as long as it affects her position”.
“A predator who thought only of herself, she destroyed the lives of girls and young women without conscience,” Giuffre’s family said.
“Virginia always said that Ghislaine Maxwell was vicious and could often be more cruel than Epstein.”
They also said Giuffre’s ordeal had continued as she helped prosecutors.
“She endured death threats, threats against the lives of her children and family, financial ruin, and her physical and mental well-being were destroyed,” they said.
They called on Trump to “never consider giving Ghislaine Maxwell any leniency”. The statement ended: “She must remain in prison – anything less would go down in history as being one of the highest travesties of justice.”
The White House has said that Trump banned Epstein from his club because he was a “creep”. Other reports say they fell out in 2004 over a Palm Beach oceanfront property when Trump ultimately outbid Epstein for the real estate. – Max Matza, BBC News.
